Rep. Cory Gardner

Congressman Cory Gardner, who serves Colorado's Fourth Congressional District, received recognition earlier this month from one of America's largest conservative groups for his commitment to defending liberty and the Constitution. The American Conservative Union (ACU) designated Gardner an "ACU Conservative," citing his commitment to America's core principles and the Constitution.

"I'm honored to receive the ACU Conservative designation," said Gardner. "From the massive national debt to out-of-control federal spending, our country faces no shortage of challenges. Conservatives in the House and Senate are offering common sense solutions to reduce our debt and shrink the size of the federal government. I am proud to be recognized for my strong conservative record."

"The ACU is dedicated to supporting the efforts of courageous conservative leaders fighting for limited government, promoting prosperity and individual freedom, and defending traditional values," according to their website. The "ACU Conservative" designation is awarded to legislators with a score of 80% or higher on the annual ACU Ratings of Congress.
